Keeping Faith Picoult, Jodi

When seven-year-old Faith White starts seeing a friend no one else can — and developing stigmata — her mother Marnie is caught between belief and terror. Is Faith experiencing divine visions or a psychological breakdown? The question fractures an already strained marriage, draws media vultures and religious zealots, and forces Marnie into a custody battle that becomes a referendum on miracles themselves. Picoult dissects faith, doubt, and the lengths we go to protect our children with surgical precision. She weaves courtroom drama, family dysfunction, and the clash between science and spirituality into a story that asks uncomfortable questions: What if your child really could perform miracles? And what would you sacrifice to keep her safe? For readers who love Picoult's trademark moral complexity and anyone drawn to stories where the line between belief and delusion blurs beautifully.
